Trail training and fixing behavioral problems with your horse and you.

We will train a horse for trail riding for you; correct bad behavior in the one you have, train and sale to you a horse picked by you. Bring us your horse, we'll turn him into your trail companion. Let's talk horses! |

A bit about Glory Days Farm! We are a small family run farm. We do not have herds of horses, only the amount of horses we can groom and work with every day. Training horses is our only job - we do not have outside employment - horses are our living - they're what we do and who we are. Those of you who have visited our website previously will see some changes in 2009... good changes... changes you have been asking for. In years past we have brought in young, unhandled horses to train and sell to people looking for that life long trail riding companion. Our main focus was training to sell. We still train horses (mostly Rocky & Kentucky Saddle Mountain horses) to sell to the young and the not so young trail riders, making sure before you leave here with your new trail companion that the two of you are a match. Now, at the request of a lot of horse owners, we have added the individual training we did years ago. We can help with relationships that already exist. For some time now, we have been swamped with people asking for help with the trail horses they already had. It seems a lot of people have purchased horses to train themselves and, of course most of the time that doesn't happen. Not everyone can finish a horse… that's why there are horse trainers, we are here to help. It may be a young horse you purchased to bond with and is now ready for training, or one you have had a while and he won't load in the trailer, won't cross water or bridges, won't stand calmly to mount or dismount, or how about this one: "He's perfect, but I can't ride him when it's windy". A lot of people are now traveling with their horses and going
horse camping. They need a good, calm horse to stand tied and remain
calm in a portable round pen, stalls or corral. Horses used for
Endurance, North American Trail Ride Conference (NATRAC) and other long
distance rides need to be level headed and calm - low P and R are
important. At Glory Days we don't let a horse leave until we feel it is
well educated in trail riding. We work with all breeds: Quarter horses,
Thoroughbreds Paints, Polo Ponies, Hunter Jumpers and so on. (We do not
train Draft horses for trail riding). We pride ourselves on turning
out a horse that is a pleasure to ride.
